Shakespeare's Texts in Original Spelling

Introduction

The texts record the original published versions of Shakespeare's plays, preserving
as many of the physical characteristics of them as possible, including original spelling
and format. These texts are in the Annex of the ISE because they have not yet been
fully edited; they have, however, been electronically compared with those of the Oxford
Text Archive, where one is available, and have been proofread against a facsimile
or microfilm. Please report any inaccuracies to the Coordinating Editor.

These texts are being made available to scholars, teachers, and the general public
for educational purposes. Copyright is retained by the Internet Shakespeare Editions;
the texts may, however, be downloaded freely, so long as the copyright notice appears
on any copies.
